Our cunning master plan

Julie and I have kicked around various sailing ideas over the last few years. We even considered doing a round the world. However, the thought of crossing large oceans when we had only cruised in the Caribbean and Greek islands, seemed a bit like running before we could walk.

Julie did a bit of digging on the internet to try and get some tips from people who had already done this sort of thing. She came across a blog call “sailingbritican.com”, see links. This was the final push that convinced us to go for it. Thanks Britican.

When I retired at the end of June 2016, we thought wow, if we borrowed some money from our pensions lumps sums, we could really buy a boat and go sailing. So, with that in mind we are planning to sail around the Mediterranean for a year.

The plan is to let our house out for a year to help with the Taverna bills. Buy a boat, ideally already in the Med. Be ready to start sailing by last April 2017.

Nice to meet you and find your blog. We have been sailing our yacht Fandancer in Greece for the last 7 years, and have recently relaunched her from Preveza for this season. We will be floating around the Ionian again this year. I am writing about our adventures on my blog. I love the name of your blog!
